I think you are suggesting we aren't responsible for what happens in our country or to our planet. I say that we need to all be accountable as individuals, consumers, coprorations or custodians of this planet... our one and only home.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f20c90eab8eab121000015OB1Sat, 12 Jan 2013 20:23:28 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f20c90eab8eab121000015
Not the Japanese. A Japanese company. There's a difference. Or do you believe the acts of a given American company or European company represents all Americans or Europeans?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f13f6b69bedd5f3b000020chewbaccaSat, 12 Jan 2013 05:48:11 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f13f6b69bedd5f3b000020
I see what you did.....
Nice way to recycle a comment.

I can't disagree with anything you have stated, but this story is about blue fin tuna...not religion and the Catholic Church. What one has to do with the other....I don't know.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f0c0fcecad041445000038NoSingleOneFri, 11 Jan 2013 20:48:44 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f0c0fcecad041445000038
It's also illogical to support population growth to the point of collapse of resources. Even China knows that.
Unfortunately the Catholic church and their issues about contraception, abortion, and gay marriage is like a doomsday cult...anything to create more souls (and $) in time for Armageddon.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f0bf7c69bedd7f21000004NoSingleOneFri, 11 Jan 2013 20:42:20 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f0bf7c69bedd7f21000004
The tuna mentioned in the article cost almost $4000 per pound!.
It would be easy to substitute skipjack or yellowtail for bluefin tuna here. Americans aren't so selective about bluefin that they will not eat it. Bluefin will just assume a place as an elite gourmet fish.
This doesn't have to mean the end of inexpensive sushi, at least in the US.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f0beee69bedda01e000006Louis NardoziFri, 11 Jan 2013 20:39:58 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f0beee69bedda01e000006
Man, could you spend $2 on an editor? Sushi is the rice, sashimi is the fish.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f0b24ceab8ea2f4c000018Gerald KnaussFri, 11 Jan 2013 19:46:04 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f0b24ceab8ea2f4c000018
Another very sad commentary on the greed and ignorance of humans, in regards to our stewardship of this planet. Humans can be so noble, but seldom are to the environment. For every benefit we provide this planet, we take so much in return. We have much to be shameful of.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f0aef869beddb36e00003fMike KennedyFri, 11 Jan 2013 19:31:52 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f0aef869beddb36e00003f
Damn straight. Japanese are cornering and stockpiling awaiting commercial extinction and then make a killing on the increase. Sick.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f09805ecad042c7e00000bVonBuescherFri, 11 Jan 2013 17:53:57 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f09805ecad042c7e00000b
40% of the Blue Fin tuna that is caught in Japan actually skips sushi restaurants all-together and end up in giant freezers owned by Mitsubishi Corp. They are holding onto the fish with the hopes of selling it for a huge mark-up at a later date.

this would be SO incredibly easy to change -- if every sushi chain could just select a more sustainable fish and replace tuna with it, they could change the future history of the fish stocks overnight. conservative diners would just switch from tuna to chicken, while others would happily choose any fish (provided it doesn't have a heavy fishy overtone that lasts the whole afternoon on your breath). I also think sushi chains need to get responsible and rid themselves of disposable chopsticks -- incalculable environmental impact for little to no benefit to consumers. the traditional Japanese customer might not be willing to switch so easily but the rest of the World's diners would likely not even notice the change.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f08dc7ecad04d86c000004David ConleyFri, 11 Jan 2013 17:10:15 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50f08dc7ecad04d86c000004
